An "application/x-yum-repository" file format which mozilla knew how to
feed to a simple app would certainly be nice.
You'd still need a simple management tool as you say - so people can remove
them, but "click here to add Nethack" is a nice interface 8)
IMO, the main problem would be that you need root privileges to modify
yum sources, don't you ? But Mozilla could as well launch a
gnome-su-type application...
